I regularly buy a zones 1-6 one-day Travelcard online. (I have my reasons!). Last week I had an interesting conversation with a LOROL revenue protection person while travelling on the Overground. I had used GWR' s website to buy the ticket and had retrieved it from a SWT machine at Basingstoke. So, all very above board, or so I thought. This LOROL person told me that they are trained to look out for forged Travelcards, and that mine lacked two security features that should have been there. It was all very polite, and there was no question of me being charged a penalty fare or prosecuted, or even just being asked to pay again.
He even showed me what the security features should have been. I won't describe them here, as I don't want to encourage any lawbreaking!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
